Port Augusta Now is the inaugural exhibition for the newly formed Port Augusta Arts Collective (PAAC). In 2023, Port Augusta-based artists and community leaders came together and established the PAAC, an art centre pilot program with the long-term goal of establishing a sustainable Aboriginal art centre in Port Augusta.
Port Augusta community have been calling for an art centre in their town for over 10 years and after seeing the recent success of Umoona Arts in Coober Pedy, First Nations leaders approached the APY Art Centre Collective looking for support to grow an art centre of their own. PAAC engages artists from across Aboriginal language groups in artmaking workshops, enabling them to earn an income and celebrate their culture through artmaking. Importantly, the artmaking workshops supported by the APY Art Centre Collective and led by artists and leaders at PACC will provide ongoing, meaningful employment opportunities for First Nations people in the town.
